Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph shown in the image is of a V-shaped function, likely representing an absolute value function. The vertex of the graph is at the point , and the arms of the graph open upwards.
Domain and Range Analysis:
-
Domain: The domain represents all possible -values that the function can take. From the graph, we see that the function extends infinitely in both directions horizontally, which means the domain is all real numbers:
-
Range: The range represents all possible -values that the function outputs. The lowest point on the graph is , and the graph increases from there as moves in either direction. Therefore, the range is :
Thus, the answers provided in the image, stating the domain as all real numbers and the range as , are correct.

Here are 5 follow-up questions based on this explanation:
- How do you find the domain of different types of functions?
- Can an absolute value function have a different vertex than ?
- What are the general properties of an absolute value function?
- How do you determine the range of a function graphically?
- How does the slope of the arms in an absolute value function affect the graph?
Tip: Always check the vertex of an absolute value function to determine its minimum or maximum, which helps in defining the range.
